Indeed, I trasfer the file through mail.
I have experienced problems with PDFs created on Mac. I don't know if it can have anything to do with this: http://www.tug.org/mactex/2009/fontcache/fix-font-cache-bug.html Anyway the problem appears for, say one in 5 to 10 colleagues with no apparent clue to where it will and won't work. What they report is basically that the fonts disappear (everything is displayed in Courier). I solve it by creating a postscript file and then doing a ps2pdf. That seems to work for everyone. So if you are on a mac, that may be worth trying. Otherwise, why not have her install LyX and make the pdfs herself ;-) /Anders
